A Little Something in the Way of a Recipe

It is ridiculously easy to throw together and tastes better the longer it sits. It is cool and refreshing, and shockingly filling.

And it is chock-full of yummy things that are good for me.

Do people still say things like chock-full?

See?

I kinda merged a couple of different recipes and now consider it one of my greatest successes. It doesn't have a pretty or clever name, so I just call it my Summer bean salad - or sometimes I go crazy and go with Summer corn salad.

Sometimes I'm clever, clever I am.

I don't like to be bossy, but I think you should give it a try :)

Renee's Summer Bean/Corn Salad

Two cups of frozen cornOne can of kidney or black beans One small bell pepper, diced.One-half red onion, diced.One tablespoon of red wine vinegar.Two tablespoons of peanut oil.Two tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped.Salt and pepper to taste.

Throw everything in a bowl and mix well. It's ok to eat right away but will of course will be even better after all the flavors get married and hang out for a couple of hours.
